Chapter 17 The two of them started fighting. Mu Xingchen gritted his teeth and faced Li Jing's back...
The entire Kyoto, seemingly calm, was actually in chaos, and the streets were densely packed with imperial guards walking around.
At this moment, there was silence in the dark cell.
Qi Feng was holding a knife to Fang Yuan's neck. The others hesitated, not daring to move forward. Fang Yuan was the prison warden. If he died, the others would also be held responsible. Furthermore, given the current situation, they couldn't win even if they took action.
"Bang, bang, bang." The spiritual power outside hit the broken matrix, and cracks appeared on the array.
A cold light flashed in Li Jing's eyes. He raised his hand and released his spiritual power to support the barrier. The barrier was stained with a layer of blue light, and the cracking sounds just now temporarily disappeared.
Qi Feng was shocked when he saw this scene. Others might not know, but he knew how seriously his master was injured.
Xu Cen looked at the map of the secret prison and drew the corners of the formation he had just found on the map. He connected them together and calculated the possible locations of the eye of the formation. As time passed, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, wetting the map.
Everyone looked at him nervously, afraid that he would not be able to find it.
Qi Feng couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "Xu Cen, did you find it?"
Suddenly, Xu Cen's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Roof!"
The next second, Li Jing waved his hand without hesitation, and a stream of air hit the roof. With a "bang", the roof was blown open.
Just when Li Jing wanted to go in alone to break the formation inside, the light blue layer covering the dark prison gradually disappeared.
The Snow Cape Formation and the Thousand Silk Formation were broken together!
Fang Yuan said in disbelief: "How is this possible! The inner core of the formation has also been broken! Who is it!"
Qi Feng and Xu Cen immediately thought of the person imprisoned inside. They were both startled and turned around and shouted, "Master!"
Li Jing withdrew his hand and walked in without hesitation.
The two of them watched his back with cold sweat dripping down their cheeks. Wasn't that the only person here who could break the Thousand Silk Formation...
Mu Xingchen, who was in the dark prison, turned her head back the moment the barrier was broken. She looked outside and thought, "It's broken!" Without thinking too much, she teleported to Tushan Xu and gave him a bit of spiritual power to destroy all the locks outside the cell.
She pulled Tushan Xu and ran while reminding others: "The formation has been broken! Everyone, hurry up!"
Everyone was amazed and asked, "It's broken?" Someone tentatively tried to pull the lock cylinder and exclaimed happily, "It's really broken!!!"
In an instant, a swarm of people poured out of the cell.
Tu Shanxu was pulled by Mu Xingchen and asked in confusion, "Didn't the girl go to see that old man? You're back so soon?"
She didn't answer but just dragged Tushan Xu's clothes and ran out, saying as she ran: "Xiao Qi! The time for one incense stick is up!"
"Wait a minute, take him away first, and then see what happens after you get out. Keep your identity safe and don't arouse suspicion."
After running halfway, Mu Xingchen stopped. When she saw that there was no one behind her, she set fire to the room without hesitation, and then continued to pull Tushan Xu away.
As she ran, she said, "No, Xiaoqi, I feel something is wrong outside."
Xiao Qi said seriously, "Okay, the countdown for the second incense stick begins!"
The dark cell behind him began to burst into flames and emit thick black smoke.
In order to avoid Mu Qing's identity being exposed after getting out, Mu Xingchen did not use his spiritual power, but ran away with Tushan Xu Chun. Just when they were about to leave the dark prison, they were suddenly bumped into by Li Jing.
He was wearing a pure black suit, a silver mask on his face, and an aura of murderous intent.
The crowd was running around in panic in the secret passage, but these two people were the only ones staring at each other motionlessly. One of them had eyes that seemed calm as water, but in fact they were surging, while the other one had eyes that seemed to have murderous intent, but in fact he was extremely anxious.
Mu Xingchen recognized him almost immediately. She gasped and thought to herself, "It's him! How could it be..."
Xiao Qi said cheerfully, "Isn't he here to save you?"
Li Jing stared at Mu Xingchen, his purple pupils narrowed, and a strong murderous aura emanated from his body. In the secret passage, this murderous aura was so strong that it had nowhere to hide and made people feel suffocated.
The next second, he said in a cold voice, "The person at Sanjian Cliff is you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dark blue spiritual power in his palm came with murderous intent, and the powerful pressure around him was overwhelming. Tushan Xu was suppressed and knelt on the spot, spitting out blood, unable to speak.
Mu Xingchen stood there with a sneer, and took his palm without fear at all. Neither of them retreated at all.
"Bang!"
The moment the two took over, the entire secret passage shook, and rubble rolled down from the sky. The thick smoke behind them was even hotter, and the flames inside filled the sky.
"My Lord." Tu Shanxu endured the pain in his chest and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't hit her, don't hit her. This girl is a good person."
The two men fought, but nothing moved, only the undercurrent of air remained.
"Let him go." Li Jing said coldly.
Mu Xingchen smiled lightly and said in a charming voice, "How can I give you the person I want?"
Li Jing looked at the thick smoke coming from behind him, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, "Okay, take him away."
A strange look flashed across Mu Xingchen's face. What was he in such a hurry for?
"The people from the imperial court have arrived. Do you want to tangle with me?" Li Jing's voice became colder and colder. Even in the dark prison where the fire was spreading, people could still feel a hint of coldness.
Mu Xingchen pursed her lips and withdrew her hand.
Li Jing didn't want to get entangled with her, so he turned around and went inside.
Mu Xingchen looked at the direction he was going and was startled.
It's over. He didn't recognize her and now he goes in to find her.
"It's over, it's over. We can't be exposed now." Mu Xingchen gritted his teeth and attacked Li Jing's back with a fatal move.
Tushan Xu's pupils widened: "Girl! Show mercy!"
Mu Xingchen turned a deaf ear and walked towards Li Jing with murderous intent. Li Jing had nowhere to retreat and could only take Mu Xingchen's palm. The two Soul Burning Realm masters intersected, and starting from the front, the dark prison could not bear it and began to collapse inch by inch.
Li Jing was seriously injured and now he was taking her palm with all his strength. Under the powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy, the meridians that had been repaired before began to burst inch by inch. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were as cold as frost and he did not move at all.
Seeing that the dark prison was about to collapse, he narrowed his eyes and unsheathed a sword wrapped in frost. The moment the sword was unsheathed, a large amount of frost began to condense around it. The frost turned into icicles, firmly freezing the collapsed dark prison.
The icy air continued to spread inward until it extinguished all the fire in the dark prison.
The next second, the frost sword in his left hand split into countless cold sharp blades and quickly came towards Mu Xingchen. The narrow secret passage was filled with the smell of rust, leaving people nowhere to escape. What was even more deadly was the sword's murderous aura.
Mu Xingchen was shocked. "What kind of sword is this? Why is there so much evil energy? He's so badly injured that he can't suppress such a strong evil energy. Is he trying to save himself?"
Mu Xingchen was shocked by the sword and took a few steps back. Her heart was instantly churning. She no longer hesitated and grabbed Tushan Xu and retreated.
"Puff." Looking at Mu Xingchen's disappearing back, Li Jing half-knelt on the ground with his sword. The sword frost in his hand spread to his left arm, freezing all the meridians in his arm. He wanted to force himself to stand up, but he mouthed out another mouthful of blood. Drops of cold sweat on his forehead slid to the ground, and his fingers trembled slightly.
He closed his eyes and reversed his meridians again.
Xu Cen outside was sweating profusely as he looked at the cracks in the broken matrix barrier. The core of the broken matrix was inside, and the people outside were trying to break in by force. The people coming were very powerful.
"I can't hold on any longer."
The next second, with a few "crackling" sounds, the formation was about to be completely shattered.
When Mu Xingchen brought Tushan Xu out, she saw this scene. She was shocked and subconsciously took action to solidify the barrier.
Everyone looked at her.
"Who is it?" Fang Yuan looked at the barrier in disbelief. "How is this possible? Who is it?"
Xu Cen and Qi Feng looked at each other, their eyes darkened, and for a moment they couldn't tell whether Mu Xingchen was an enemy or a friend.
Mu Xingchen said anxiously: "No, it's too late, I have to get out immediately."
Xiao Qi said without hesitation: "Xingchen, the center of the formation is in the southwest direction."
Mu Xingchen poured almost all of her spiritual power into the center of the formation in the southwest direction without hesitation. The next second, she disappeared with Tushan Xu.
Xu Cen looked in the direction she left, his pupils narrowed. "She took Tushan Xu away? Her strength in the Burning Soul Realm is surprisingly the same as our Lord's. And she actually found the center of the formation with just one glance. Who is she? I've never heard of such a person. Is she an enemy or a friend?"
Qi Feng took a breath and said, "Don't worry about it for now. The master is still inside."
They looked towards the center of the formation in tacit understanding. The spiritual power given by Mu Xingchen gave the short matrix a little life.
But there is no time.
After Mu Xingchen came out, she tore through space and brought Tushan Xu to the wilderness not far away. She warned him coldly: "Don't leave here, or your daughter will die."
Tushan Xu Yizhen: "What did you do to my daughter? You..." Before he could finish his words, Mu Xingchen disappeared.
She quickly took off her coat and veil, then chose to go back through the back of the cell to avoid running into Li Jing again.
Mu Xingchen returned to his original cell and sighed, "Fortunately, we're still in time. Xiaoqi, there's no need to suppress the Gu Spirit, or he'll be able to sense your presence."
Xiao Qi was speechless: "I know. Xingchen, you've almost used up all your spiritual energy. Why don't you just have a good sleep in here?"
Mu Xingchen ignored her and fainted on the ground.
When Li Jing arrived, he saw Mu Xingchen lying pitifully in the corner. His coat was gone, his body was covered in ashes, and there were signs of burns.
His pupils shrank, and he picked up Mu Xingchen and quickly retreated.
At the same time, the short matrix outside was completely shattered, and the Royal Guards rushed in in an overwhelming manner.
Li Jing brought Mu Xingchen out and said coldly, "Let's go."
Xu Cen and Qi Feng breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him coming out. Qi Feng shouted, "Retreat!"
"Stop them! Kill them all!" Li Yan gave the cold order.
The Royal Guards shouted, "Yes."
The elders arrived at this moment. The chief elder saw the retreating figures on the opposite side and said angrily, "The double formation was broken. What are you doing?"
The formation master stepped forward and explained, "Great Elder, the spiritual power of this formation has reached the Soul Burning Realm. Breaking the formation is truly difficult."
Li Yan frowned fiercely, "Soul Burning Realm? It's him! He actually came here in person." He said without hesitation, "Elder, he's seriously injured. If we catch up with them now, we'll definitely be able to kill them!"
The Great Elder looked ahead and said solemnly, "No, the Emperor has ordered that the Four Yan Territories must be recovered at all costs. As for the others, we can discuss this later."
Prince Yan's eyes twitched slightly: "But..."
The Great Elder glanced at Li Yan and said coldly, "Do you need me to explain to you how serious the consequences of escaping from the Four Realms are, Prince Yan?"
The Great Elder exchanged a glance with the other elders and said, "Let's go!"
Li Yan took a deep breath and said unwillingly, "Secret guards of the palace, follow me!"
A group of people followed Li Yan and left in a mighty manner. They were heading towards Langling Mountain.
Xu Cen smiled evilly and looked behind him: "Master, Li Yan brought people to chase us personally."
Li Jing glanced at Mu Xingchen in his arms and stopped, "Where's Fengxue?"
Qi Feng also smirked and said, "I've already prepared everything. This time, we'll make sure they never come back!"
